become a barung volunteer
Volunteering is a wonderful way to give back to the environment and community, build social connections and improve your own physical, mental health and overall wellbeing.
Volunteering at Barung is an experience in both helping and learning!
Barung Landcare operates with a small team of paid staff, and a large number of invaluable volunteers.
By joining as a volunteer you can support Barung Landcare’s mission in helping the environment, learn about native Australian plants and ecosystems, gain valuable skills in raising native plants from seeds, and meet like-minded people with an interest in maintaining our environment.
Barung Landcare offers a number of pathways for the community to participate in Landcare through our various volunteer activities. These include (but are not limited to):
- Volunteering at our native plant nurseries
- Helping with tree planting and weed maintenance at our site at the Maleny Community Precinct
- Helping to run community information stalls about Barung Landcare
- Fundraising activities
- Barung Landcare Management Committee
We welcome a range of skills, experience and interests to the team! If you’re interested in joining as a volunteer, please fill out our Volunteer Expression of Interest Form and a member of the team will be in touch.
